Home And Things — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

Never thought I`d miss that little old shack where I was born
Never thought I`d miss that little hick town
But then I never thought I`d wander quite this far away
Or my dreams would get turned quite this upside down
Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight and I`d fly south if only I had wings
This big old world can make you miss the simple life you used to live
Oh what I`d give to just see home and things

Things like my mama coolin` off her applepies and the window sill
And dryin` her washin` on a limb from a hickory tree
Things like my daddy takin` his lunch to work in a paper sack
And tellin` all of his buddies how proud he is of me
Things like the preacher standin` in the pulpit early on Sunday morning
Preachin` to the sinners and leadin` everybody in a prayer
Oh the sun was yellow and the grass was green
And the folks they were warm and friendly
And your soul could take a good deep breath of God`s fresh air
Home and things are heavy...
Home and things are heavy on my mind tonight
